Solitary Spiritual Retreats for Healing

[No Knowing]

Hey just got back from a one week retreat in a hermitage. No internet, phones, or interpersonal contact that whole time. Read alot, worked on composing music, exercised, and meditated pretty much the whole time. Did me well. I didn't bring any psychs because I wanted to try it without them this time but I will likely bring a few next time. :twisted:

This website has lots of information for "solitary seekers"

This part of the website has lists of retreat centers and hermitages in North America. [other countries are also listed]

Was really nice to just worry about yourself one day at a time and take your time cooking and eating healthy food.

Highly recommended. :thumb_up:

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.

I have looked into a 3 month long cabin retreat in the mountains.

If I do it sometime in the future I would go by a strict buddhist regiment.

Only eating certain grains and only one serving of fruit/candy a day

Having to chop your wood for the day just to stay warm that night..

It's amazing stuff.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a cabin for 3 months, let alone have the money for renting one!

I also wouldn't mind trying a silent retreat.

Thanks for posting though.
